Join Viet Global in exploring the breathtaking beauty of Antarctica.

In summer, the sun shines brightly all the time, and temperatures on warm, sunny days range from 5 to 10 degrees Celsius.^oC. In winter, there is no daylight in Antarctica; it is always dark, and record winter temperatures can drop below -80 degrees Celsius.^oC. Despite its harsh climate, Antarctica holds a unique appeal for adventurous travelers. The best time to explore Antarctica is during the summer months, from November to March. A particularly unique feature is that the time here doesn't align with the sun's position; daylight lasts for half the year in summer, while the other half is a cold, dark winter.

As a relatively new destination for Vietnamese tourists, Viet Global Travel has launched a unique 13-day, 10-night Antarctic tour, scheduled to depart later this year, aiming to provide the travel market with a novel product and help tourists gain unforgettable experiences in the majestic and breathtakingly beautiful Southern Hemisphere.

Below are some of the highlights of the Antarctic exploration journey from Viet Global Travel.

Ushuaia city

Ushuaia, located in Argentina, is considered the "fairyland" of the country. Situated at the southernmost tip of the South American continent and closer to the South Pole than any other city in the world, it's nicknamed "The End of the World." Therefore, if you have the chance to visit Ushuaia, you can't miss the opportunity to take a picture with the sign Ushuaia – Fin del munto – meaning "Ushuaia - the end of the world."

Drake Passage Strait

The Drake Passage is named after the famous explorer Sir Francis Drake, who traversed this waterway in 1578, and it separates the continents of South America and Antarctica. The Drake Passage also marks the Antarctic – a biological barrier where cold water flows beneath warmer water. In addition, visitors have the opportunity to observe a variety of amazing seabirds, including the albatross.

South Shetland Islands

During your journey, when you see icebergs or snow-capped mountains, it's time to arrive in the South Shetland Islands – a group of 20 islands, large and small, first discovered by Captain Williams in February 1819. The South Shetland Islands are home to a wide variety of wildlife, including penguins and seals.

King George Island

This is the largest island in the South Shetland Islands, located 120 km off the coast of Antarctica in the Southern Ocean. King George Island currently houses 44 research stations from 18 countries worldwide. The area is characterized by sedimentary, volcanic, and other intrusive and extrusive formations.

Paradise Bay

Paradise Bay is currently one of the most visited tourist destinations in Antarctica. Surrounding the bay are glacier-eroded mountains and ice-covered cliffs reflected in the crystal-clear waters. The most popular activities in this Antarctic paradise include cruising among the icebergs, kayaking to visit a Chilean research station, or photographing penguin habitats.
